Geomagnetic is refracted by building's wall and pillar. Therefore refracted geomagnetic is able to be used as feature point. In a specific space, a mobile device that is equipped with magnetic sensor array measures 3-axis magnetic field for each point. Magnetic field map is acquired by collecting the every sample point in the magnetic field. The measured magnetic field must be calibrated, because each magnetic sensor has a distortion. For this reason, sensor distortion model and sensor calibration method are proposed in this paper. Magnetic field that is measured by mobile device matches magnetic field map. Result of the matching is used for position estimation. This paper implements hardware system for position estimation method using magnetic field map.

This paper presents image analysis method using a Markov random field(MRF) model. Particulary, image esgmentation is to partition the given image into regions. This scheme is first segmented into regions, and the obtained domain knowledge is used to obtain the improved segmented image by a Markov random field model. The method is a maximum a posteriori(MAP) estimation with the MRF model and its associated Gibbs distribution. MAP estimation method is applied to capture the natural image by TMS320C80(MVP) and to realize the segmented image by a MRF model.

Three-dimensional video coding is one of the main challenges restricting the widespread applications of 3D video and free viewpoint video. In this paper, a novel fractal coding algorithm with motion-vector-field-based motion estimation for depth map sequence is proposed. We firstly add pre-search restriction to rule the improper domain blocks out of the matching search process so that the number of blocks involved in the search process can be restricted to a smaller size. Some improvements for motion estimation including initial search point prediction, threshold transition condition and early termination condition are made based on the feature of fractal coding. The motion-vector-field-based adaptive hexagon search algorithm on the basis of center-biased distribution characteristics of depth motion vector is proposed to accelerate the search. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can reach optimum levels of quality and save the coding time. The PSNR of synthesized view is increased by 0.56 dB with 36.97% bit rate decrease on average compared with H.264 Full Search. And the depth encoding time is saved by up to 66.47%. Moreover, the proposed fractal depth map sequence codec outperforms the recent alternative codecs by improving the H.264/AVC, especially in much bitrate saving and encoding time reduction.

In this paper, we propose a novel motion field estimation algorithm for which a U-disparity map and forward-and-backward error removal are applied in a vehicular environment. Generally, a motion exists in an image obtained by a camera attached to a vehicle by vehicle movement; however, the obtained motion vector is inaccurate because of the surrounding environmental factors such as the illumination changes and vehicles shaking. It is, therefore, difficult to extract an accurate motion vector, especially on the road surface, due to the similarity of the adjacent-pixel values; therefore, the proposed algorithm first removes the road surface region in the obtained image by using a U-disparity map, and uses then the optical flow that represents the motion vector of the object in the remaining part of the image. The algorithm also uses a forward-backward error-removal technique to improve the motion-vector accuracy and a vehicle's movement is predicted through the application of the RANSAC (RANdom SAmple Consensus) to the previously obtained motion vectors, resulting in the generation of a motion field. Through experiment results, we show that the performance of the proposed algorithm is superior to that of an existing algorithm.

Depth estimation is one of the most complicated and difficult problems to deal with in the light field. In this paper, a compound attention convolutional neural network (CAttNet) is proposed to extract depth maps from light field images. To make more effective use of the sub-aperture images (SAIs) of light field and reduce the redundancy in SAIs, we use a compound attention mechanism to weigh the channel and space of the feature map after extracting the primary features, so it can more efficiently select the required view and the important area within the view. We modified various layers of feature extraction to make it more efficient and useful to extract features without adding parameters. By exploring the characteristics of light field, we increased the network depth and optimized the network structure to reduce the adverse impact of this change. CAttNet can efficiently utilize different SAIs correlations and features to generate a high-quality light field depth map. The experimental results show that CAttNet has advantages in both accuracy and time.

위성 원격 탐사에서는 센서 운영 환경으로 인하여 영상을 수집하는 동안 영상의 질 저하가 일어나며 이러한 영상의 질 저하는 관측된 자료로부터 유용한 정보를 확인하거나 추출하는 데 악 영향을 미치는 번짐 현상(blurring)과 잡음 (noise)을 야기시킨다. 본 연구는 원격 탐사 영상 자료의 질 저하 현상을 모형화하기 위해 Gaussian 가산 잡음과 Markov random field로 정의되는 공간적 연결성을 가정하였다. 그리고 질 저하된 관측 자료로부터 원래 강도의 영상을 복원하기 위한 Point-Jacobian 반복 maximum a posteriori (MAP) 추정 법을 제안한다. 제안 연구는 이웃 창의 형태로 8 개 방향의 창으로 구성된 방사형을 사용하며 각 방향에서의 중심 화소와의 이웃 화소들 간의 Mahalanobis 제곱 거리를 경계 근접성 측정치로 사용한다. 제안 방법의 성능을 평가하기 위해서 고해상도 영상 자료에 나타날 수 있는 다양한 형태의 패턴을 사용하는 simulation 자료를 생성하여 화소 단위 분류 법을 사용하여 정량적 평가를 수행하였고 한반도 안양 북부 지역에서 관측된 1 m 급 IKONOS 자료의 무감독 분할을 통해 정성적 평가를 수행하였다. 실험 결과는 고해상도 원격 탐사 자료 분석에서 제안 영상 복원 법을 적용하면 현저히 분석의 정확성을 높이는 것을 보여 준다.

본 논문에서는 U-시차 지도(U-disparity map)와 정방향-역방향 에러 제거를 통하여 자동차 환경에서의 새로운 모션 필드 예측기법을 제안한다. 일반적으로 자동차에 장착된 카메라로 획득된 영상에서는 자동차의 움직임에 따라 모션 벡터가 발생하게 된다. 그러나 이러한 모션 벡터는 주변 환경에 영향을 받기 때문에 정확도가 떨어진다. 특히 도로면에서는 인접한 화소값이 유사하기 때문에 정확한 모션 벡터의 추출이 어렵다. 따라서 제안하는 기법에서는 U-시차 지도를 이용하여 도로면을 제거하고 나머지 부분에 대하여 옵티컬 플로우(optical flow)를 수행한다. 또한 모션 벡터의 정확도를 향상시키기 위해 정방향-역방향 에러 제거 방법을 활용한다. 최종적으로 획득한 모션 벡터에 RANSAC(RANdom SAmple Consensus)을 적용하여 차량의 움직임을 예측하고 모션 필드를 생성한다. 실험을 통해 제안하는 기법이 기존의 기법보다 성능이 우수한 것을 확인하였다.

The objective of this research was to establish the estimation method of growth information on potato using Multi-Spectral Image Sensor (MSIS) and Global Positioning System (GPS). And growth estimation map for determining a prescription map over the entire field was generated. To determine the growth model, 10 ground-truth points of areas of $4m^2$ each were selected and investigated. The growth information included stem number, crop height and SPAD value. In addition, images information involving the ground-truth points were also taken by an unmanned helicopter, and reflectance value of Green, Red, and NIR bands were calculated with image processing. Then, growth status of potato was modeled by multi-regression analysis using these reflectance value of Green, Red, and NIR. As a result, potato growth information could be detected by analyzing Green, Red, and NIR images. Stem number, crop height and SPAD value could be estimated with $R^2$ values of 0.600, 0.657 and 0.747 respectively. The generated GIS map would describe variability of the potato growth in a whole field.

This paper presents an estimation method of national wind resource potential using a national and GIS(Geographical Information System). The wind resource potential is classified into theoretical, geographical and technical potentials and each category narrows down the previous definition by excluding impossible area to be developed as a wind farm using GIS datasets for onshore and offshore. As a basic unit of wind energy potential at a certain area, API(Average Power Intercepted) is calculated from WPD(Wind Power Density) given by a national wind map which is established by numerical wind simulation, so that a logical and relatively accurate potential estimation is possible comparing with other methods based on a field measurement interpolation which is inevitable to avoid critical assumptions.
